Vase
by TIFFANY, Louis Comfort, Favrile glass, height 17 cm
The mark on the underside of this vase indicates that this object was once part of Tiffany’s private collection. Less than 250 objects are so marked. Tiffany described the effects achieved here as created “by numerous glasses of various chemical constituents reacting one upon another.” This vase was part of a series with morning glories; the first one was exhibited at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris.
